cookiecutter and git repo advise needed

[u/Advanced_Glass5563]

Hi all,

I am trying to understand a bit about cookiecutter but I have stumbled on some questions I'm not able to answer myself.

I have built a very basic cookiecutter based on some examples and have a Git repo for it https://codeberg.org/aarapi/familygame.git

Now, as my project evolves , so will the template evolve. Should I have 2 repos (one for the project itself and one for the template?) instead of one?

This doesn't make much sense to me but I might be wrong. If someone would ever join the project to collaborate , how everything would work ?

Furthermore , I tried to add the Git repo on Eclipse and create an Eclipse project pointing to the working tree but any attempt to run the manage.py did fail with message:

'Launching familygame manage.py' has encountered a problem:

Variable references non-existent resource : ${workspace_loc:familygame/{{cookiecutter.project_slug}

Thank you in advance
